Yahoo!After an extensive search that went into the wee hours of this morning, October 28, Santa Barbara police weren’t able to locate a man wanted for assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, and drug possession.
The long night began around 6 p.m., when two county probation officers were doing a routine probation search of Yvonne Mata, 30, at 214 S. Canada St. Inside her trailer at the Flamingo Mobile Home Park on the Eastside, probation officers allegedly found marijuana and a locked metal box, which they asked her to unlock.

She told the officers that her boyfriend, Daniel Aguilar, 34, had the key, but was not home. Aguilar arrived later, and agreed to open the box. When he did, the officers saw cocaine. Then, according to Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte, Aguilar pulled a handgun on the officers and “held the probation officers at gunpoint inside the trailer,” demanding they not take Mata and him to jail.

Santa Barbara patrol cars and police line Canada Street in an effort to establish a perimeter around Flamingo Mobile Home Park, where they believe an armed man to be hiding out.
As he continued to allegedly point the gun at the officers, who were unarmed, they convinced him to leave, and he took the cocaine with him, Duarte said. The officers immediately called the Police Department, who responded and surrounded the trailer park.
Authorities believed Aguilar was in the trailer park, but after a roughly eight-hour search concluding at 3:30 a.m., they were unable to find him. The department’s Special Weapons and Tactics Team was on hand, as were K-9 units and a helicopter overhead.
Police consider Aguilar armed and dangerous and urge anyone with knowledge of Aguilar’s whereabouts to call the department at (805) 897-2300.

I would bet the reason she is on probation in the first place is because of non-violent drug possession charges. Why can't they just leave these people alone instead of provoking them with a stick??

loon your comment is what depresses me about people. You really think a girl with a boyfriend packing heat and hiding cocaine should not be "provoked". Jeez if the wuss liberals of America like you suceed in taking over I pity what is going to happen here.

I'm a wuss liberal too, actually I'm a socialist commie who really represents the red, not like you wannabe repugnants, and I think they should provoke people with guns and drugs. Herschel's comments are quite appropriate about you, but your screen name says it all "in the know". I'm wondering what it is you know about that we all don't get yet. Sheesh, I feel like such an outsider.

spacey you and greenspan should meet up in real life, after all you have nothing to comment about the story. You two would work well together in your little self contained world.

Then why are vicodin, oxycontin and other such prescription drugs "legal"?
They are just as addictive and likely to mess up someone's life as cocaine.
Not to mention alcohol and nicotine which can cause an equal amount of mental and physical problems.
Drugs are drugs. They should either be all legal or all illegal. Which one makes more sense?

InTheNo,
We are working together in a grand conspiracy to raise the red flag over Santa Barbara. Wuss liberals of the world unite.!
Let us sing together:
Arise, you prisoners of starvation!
Arise, you wretched of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation:
A better world's in birth!
No more tradition's chains shall bind us,
Arise you slaves, no more in thrall!
The earth shall rise on new foundations:
We have been nought, we shall be all!
'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place.
The international soviet
Shall be the human race
'Tis the final conflict,
Let each stand in his place.
The international working class
Shall be the human race
The Internationale

"They should either be all legal or all illegal"
Hmm kind of like the "pot is natural" debate, then go eat some natural poison mushrooms, see where that gets you.
Your inability to differentiate between helpful drugs (such as heart medicine and such) and social harmful drugs isn't much of a debate. You say some drugs (nicotine and alcohol) are harmful and your solution is to free up everything. Sure let people screw themselves more!!!!
GOOD PLAN MAN, NICE ONE.

Hey, let us have pot and magic mushrooms, and we'll let you have your erectile disfunction pills. You people think you live in a free society? ha! That doesn't exist on this planet, unless you're Bin Laden. He's still free.

Unbelievable that anyone is still following this rather wayward thread. Anyone care to suppose that Aguilar beat Mata and discuss violence against women?
Sometimes, bad people do bad things. Sometimes they get caught, sometimes they don't.
End of story.
